The funny thing is that saying something is unhinged doesn't make it so any more than saying that someone is angry makes it so. You're reading your own emotions into interactions with other people. That's unhelpful and unhealthy. You should consider not doing that.
Imagine how insane you have to be to do an entire podcast on truck nuts because they offend you. It's like when conservatives get all pissy when someone says happy holidays instead of merry Christmas
There are stereotypes of certain personalities who'd attach nuts to their truck, and people are choosing to be associated with them by installing truck nuts. It doesn't mean they fit the stereotype, they might be nice normal people who do it for their own reasons. But public perception is they think nuts hanging off a truck is funny (dumb) or manly (cringe).
